Clouded Leopard

This Clouded Leopard is one of two cubs who came to the Lowery Park Zoo, Tampa, FL, as part of an endangered species recovery plan. They are known for being skilled climbers and can even hang from tree branches by their hind feet. Another distinctive feature of clouded leopards is their long canine teeth, which are longer in proportion to body size than those of any other wild cat species.
Interestingly, clouded leopards are not actually leopards, as their name implies, but a separate species of#clouded#lowery park
